Change URL root

[Irene Vagionakis]

Dear all,

I have been asked to change the root of URLs of an EFES instance from '/' to 'xxx/', so that we get something like 'https://sitedomain.it/xxx/en/' without having to request a subdomain. How can this be done?

Thanks!

I take it that you do not want EFES to handle requests to /, only
requests to /xxx/. In this case, this should be handled by the web
server that proxies through to the server running EFES. For example, if
you are running Apache HTTPD as your front-end web server, use
mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html:

ProxyPass "/xxx/" "http://my.efes.server:8080/"
ProxyPassReverse "/xxx/" "http://my.efes.server:8080/"
ProxyHTMLEnable On

Thank you!

However, for this instance of EFES (on whose setup I have no direct control) I think that there is no Apache configuration at all: the readdressing of ports is done through Docker and it is not possible to add a sort of subdomain from there.

Is there a way to do it internally from EFES? I have tried to edit at line 199 of sw/jetty/etc/webdefault.xml the `<url-pattern>/</url-pattern> and it seems to work (with some adjustments needed to the handling of the multilingualism of the site): is it a correct way to do it or could it cause unexpected consequences?

Thanks!

Yes, that should work without consequences within EFES. Whether there
are issues with anything else wanting to be served outside of /xxx/ is
beyond the scope of that piece of configuration.

Perfect, thanks!
